Any cake-pop makers out there?

I have no clue where to post this-it thought there was a cooking section somewhere but I can't fine it?
Anyway - I am embarking on cake-pop making for DD birthday and I was after some tips from other Aussie mums. Nearly everything I can find are from the US and they mention all these things that we don't have here.
So-any tips? I made some already and the biggest issue was that the chocolate was too think - I used Nestle cooking chocolate. Anyway - any tips would be most welcome! I should I am using a cake-pop maker not making them from scratch and I am pretty happy with it.
